PUBLIC CIRCULATING LIBRARY, HAVING long felt the need of a PUBLIC CIRCULATING LIBRARY in Hongkong,

I have determined, should a sufficient number Volunteer to Subscribe to it, to form a Library on the same basis as Circulating Libraries are formed in England, and from my Experience in such matters in England, I feel certain that I can form and conduct a Library satisfactorily to all. My Experience in the East Teaches me that the principal demand would be for LIGHT LITERATURE, and the Ordinary 3-Volume - English Novels would therefore preponderate, at the same time Works of any interest on

Science, Biography and Travel would find their place on the Library Shelves.
